Business support officer jobs

At Accuro we have been operating across West Essex for over 40 years delivering clubs and activities to provide fun, friendship and a safe inclusive space for children, young adults and adults with a disability. Our clubs are a vital part of our members lives which also provide their families with trusted care and valuable respite. Our clubs and projects offer a wide range of opportunities from cookery to beach days, parties and paddleboarding. We are led by what our members tell us they want to do, whilst also offering them the opportunity to experience new activities that offer exciting possibilities to develop confidence and self-esteem.

Our current operations manager will be retiring in the new year and we are now looking for a talented and passionate individual to build on her achievements and lead our operations team to deliver and develop our services across West Essex.

The role requires a balance of leadership and practical delivery; a strong social care or health professional who has experience of managing people, financials and delivering projects.
